become an optometrist.<br />
“In 2008 I qualified and graduated<br />
with a B.Tech Optometry degree<br />
from the University of Johannesburg<br />
and began working part-time in one<br />
of the largest optical laboratories in<br />
the city. After this I embarked on student<br />
optometric work at a prominent<br />
practice gaining valuable practical<br />
experience. When my professional<br />
career kicked off I had the ability to<br />
give patients professional and personalised<br />
eye care.”<br />

unchanged, as he continues to provide<br />
individualized eye care at ModernEyes<br />
Optometrists working with state-ofthe-art<br />
digital and automated optical<br />
diagnostic equipment, ably assisted by<br />
a professional support team. Optometry<br />
is a rewarding field, we make a difference<br />
in people’s lives, watching a young<br />
I just couldn’t<br />
believe what<br />
vision I had<br />
missed out on<br />
person smile when they receive their<br />
first pair of spectacles or contact lenses<br />
as they finally realise what it’s like to see<br />
clearly for the first time.<br />
“I love working with people and I see<br />
myself as a problem solver. I enjoy a challenging<br />
case, be it a complex contact<br />
lens fit on a patient with corneal diseases<br />
to assisting and rehabilitating a patient<br />
with low vision caused by various eye<br />
conditions.”<br />
About me<br />
“Growing up in Brackenhurst and attending Alberton High School,<br />
I enjoyed life in the south and had a great group of friends.<br />
I’d say I’m a collector of friends<br />
and I’m still in close contact with all my school and varsity pals.<br />
I have a close bond with my two younger brothers. My middle brother runs<br />
his own trailer engineering and manufacturing business<br />
and my youngest brother is currently in matric at St David’s in Inanda.<br />
Family is important to me. I’ve been married for four and half years to my high<br />
school sweetheart and best friend, Sheri. We haven’t begun<br />
a family yet, but we are definitely in the ‘thinking about it stage’. Presently our<br />
two dogs, a Jack Russell called Gunner and a mini dachshund named Poppy,<br />
fill a little space in our lives but as much as we enjoy them, having children is<br />
something we are both really looking forward to. We love travelling and try<br />
to visit a different country each year, enjoying spending some valuable time<br />
together. I enjoy a glass of good whisky and an occasional poker game with<br />
friends, watching cooking shows on TV and then trying out the recipes. Other<br />
than that I’d say I’m your regular kind of a guy, with a passion for life and looking<br />
forward to making many more wonderful memories.<br />
